What is an FPGA?

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are semiconductor devices that are based around a
matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects. FPGAs can
be reprogrammed to desired application or functionality requirements after manufacturing. This
feature distinguishes FPGAs from Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), which are
custom manufactured for specific design tasks. Although one-time programmable (OTP) FPGAs
are available, the dominant types are SRAM based which can be reprogrammed as the design
evolves.

What are the differences between an ASIC and an FPGA?

FPGA Architecture:

A basic FPGA architecture shown below consists of thousands of fundamental elements called
configurable logic blocks (CLBs) surrounded by a system of programmable interconnects, called a
fabric, that routes signals between CLBs. Input/output (I/O) blocks interface between the FPGA
and external devices. Depending on the manufacturer, the CLB may also be referred to as a logic
block (LB), a logic element (LE) or a logic cell (LC).
 Fig 1.1 General Architecture of FPGA

Explain the structure of Switch matrix:

Fig 1.2 Simplified Block Diagram of XC4000-Families CLB

The XC4000 families achieve high speed through advanced semiconductor technology and through
improved architecture, and supports system clock rates of up to 50 MHz. Compared to older Xilinx
FPGA families, the XC4000 families are more powerful, offering on-chip RAM and wide-input
decoders. They are more versatile in their applications, and design cycles are faster due to a
combination of increased routing resources and more sophisticated software. And last, but not least,
they more than double the available complexity, up to the 20,000-gate level. The XC4000 families
have 16 members, ranging in complexity from 2,000 to 25,000 gates.

The CLBs provide the functional elements for constructing the user’s logic. The most important
one is a more powerful and flexible CLB surrounded by a versatile set of routing resources, resulting
in more “effective gates per CLB.” The principal CLB elements are shown in Figure 1.2. Each new
CLB also packs a pair of flip-flops and two independent 4-input function generators. The two
function generators offer designers plenty of flexibility because most combinatorial logic functions
need less than four inputs. Consequently, the design-software tools can deal with each function
generator independently, thus improving cell usage.

CPLD

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a combination of a fully programmable

AND/OR array and a bank of microcells. The AND/OR array is reprogrammable and can perform
a multitude of logic functions. Microcells are functional blocks that perform combinatorial or
sequential logic, and also have the added flexibility for true or complement, along with varied
feedback paths.

Traditionally, CPLDs have used analog sense amplifiers to boost the performance of their
architectures. This performance boost came at the cost of very high current requirements.
Advantages of CPLD:
CPLDs perform a variety of useful functions in systems design due to their unique
capabilities and as the market leader in programmable logic solutions, AMD provides a total
solution to a designer's CPLD needs. Understanding the features and benefits of using CPLDs can
help enable ease of design, lower development costs, and speed products to market.

Aim: Introduction to Hardware Description Languages (HDLs).

Competency and Practical Skills:

Relevant CO:

Objectives:

Equipment / Instruments: Laptop or Computer with Xilinx / Altera (Intel) Tools.

Basic Theory:

What Are Hardware Description Languages (HDLs)?

HDLs are indeed similar to programming languages but not exactly the same. We utilize a
programming language to build or create software, whereas we use a hardware description language
to describe or express the behavioral characteristics of digital logic circuits.

We utilize HDLs for designing processors, motherboards, CPUs (i.e., computer chips), as well as
various other digital circuitry.

What Is VHDL?

Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is a description

language used to describe hardware. It is utilized in electronic design automation to express mixed-
signal and digital systems, such as ICs (integrated circuits) and FPGA (field-programmable gate
arrays). We can also use VHDL as a general-purpose parallel programming language.
We utilize VHDL to write text models that describe or express logic circuits. If the text model is
part of the logic design, the model is processed by a synthesis program. The next step in the process
incorporates a simulation program to test the logic design. During this step, we utilize the simulation
models to characterize the logic circuits that interface to the design. We refer to this collection of
simulation models as a testbench.
Typically, a VHDL simulator is an event-driven simulator which means that we add each
transaction to an event queue for a particular scheduled time. For example, if a signal assignment
occurs after one nanosecond, we add the event to the queue as time + 1 ns. Although a zero delay
is allowed, it still must be scheduled, and for these scenarios we utilize a Delta delay.

VHDL Functionality

These simulations alternate between two modes:

 Statement Execution: In this mode, the triggered statements are evaluated.

 Event Processing: During this mode, the events in the queue are processed.

Though there is an inherent similarity in hardware designs, VHDL has processes that can make the
necessary accommodations. However, these processes differ in syntax from the parallel processes
in tasks (Ada).
Similarly to Ada, VHDL is a predefined part of the programming language, plus, it is not case
sensitive. However, VHDL provides various features that are unavailable in Ada, e.g., an extensive
set of Boolean operators which include nor and nand. These additional features enable VHDL to
precisely represent operations that are customary in hardware.

Another feature of VHDL is it has file output and input capabilities that you can utilize as a general-
purpose language for text processing. Although, we typically see them in use by a simulation
testbench for data verification or stimulus. Specific VHDL compilers build executable binaries,
which afford the option to use VHDL to write a testbench for functionality verification designs
utilizing files on the host computer to compare expected results, user interaction, and define stimuli.

Note: Ada is a statically typed, structured, object-oriented, and imperative high-level programming
language; it is an extension that derives from Pascal and other programming languages.

What Is Verilog?

As I am sure you are aware, Verilog is also a Hardware Description Language. It employs a textual
format to describe electronic systems and circuits. In the area of electronic design, we apply Verilog
for verification via simulation for testability analysis, fault grading, logic synthesis, and timing
analysis.

Verilog is also more compact since the language is more of an actual hardware modeling language.
As a result, you typically write fewer lines of code, and it elicits a comparison to the C language.
However, Verilog has a superior grasp on hardware modeling as well as a lower level of
programming constructs. Verilog is not as wordy as VHDL, which accounts for its compact nature.
Although VHDL and Verilog are similar, their differences tend to outweigh their similarities.

Verilog HDL is an IEEE standard (IEEE 1364). It received its first publication in 1995, with a
subsequent revision in 2001. SystemVerilog, which is the 2005 revision of Verilog, is the latest
publication of the standard. We call the IEEE Verilog standard document the LRM (Language
Reference Manual). Currently, the IEEE 1364 standard defines the PLI (Programming Language
Interface).

Note: The PLI is a collective of software routines that allows a bidirectional interface between other
languages such as C and Verilog.

VHDL vs Verilog

No.
1 Strongly typed Weakly typed
2 Easier to understand Less code to write
3 More natural in use More of a hardware modeling language
4 Non-C-like syntax Similarities to the C language
Variables must be described by data A lower level of programming
5
type constructs
6 Widely used for FPGAs and military A better grasp on hardware modeling
7 More difficult to learn Simpler to learn
The most important thing to remember when you are writing HDL code is that you are describing
real hardware, not writing a computer program. The most common beginner’s mistake is to write
HDL code without thinking about the hardware you intend to produce. If you don’t know what
hardware you are implying, you are almost certain not going to get what you want. Instead, begin
by sketching a block diagram of your system, identifying which portions are combinational logic,
which portions are sequential circuits or finite state machines, and so forth. Then, write HDL code
for each portion, using the correct idioms to imply the kind of hardware you need.

The Xilinx ISE software controls all aspects of the design flow. Through the Project Navigator
interface, one can access all of the design entry and design implementation tools. One can also
access the files and documents associated with their project.

Fig. 2.1 Project Navigator

The Project Navigator interface is divided into four panel sub-windows, as seen in Figure 2.1.

 On the top left are the Start, Design, Files, and Libraries panels, which include display and
access to the source files in the project as well as access to running processes for the
currently selected source. The Start panel provides quick access to opening projects as well
as frequently access reference material, documentation and tutorials.

 At the bottom of the Project Navigator are the Console, Errors, and Warnings panels, which
display status messages, errors, and warnings.
 To the right is a multi-document interface (MDI) window referred to as the Workspace. The
Workspace enables person to view design reports, text files, schematics, and simulation
waveforms.

 Each window can be resized, undocked from Project Navigator, moved to a new location
within the main Project Navigator window, tiled, layered, or closed.

 One can use the View > Panels menu commands to open or close panels. You can use the
Layout > Load Default Layout to restore the default window layout.

 The Design panel provides access to the View, Hierarchy, and Processes panes.

 The View pane radio buttons enable you to view the source modules associated with the
Implementation or Simulation Design View in the Hierarchy pane. If you select Simulation,
you must select a simulation phase from the drop-down list.

 The Hierarchy pane displays the project name, the target device, user documents, and design
source files associated with the selected Design View.

 The View pane at the top of the Design panel allows you to view only those source files
associated with the selected Design View, such as Implementation or Simulation.

 Each file in the Hierarchy pane has an associated icon. The icon indicates the file type (HDL
file, schematic, core, or text file, for example).

 For a complete list of possible source types and their associated icons, see the “Source File
Types” topic in the ISE Help.

 From Project Navigator, select Help > Help Topics to view the ISE Help. If a file contains
lower levels of hierarchy, the icon has a plus symbol (+) to the left of the name. One can
expand the hierarchy by clicking the plus symbol (+). One can open a file for editing by
double-clicking on the filename.

 The Console provides all standard output from processes run from Project Navigator. It
displays errors, warnings, and information messages.

 The Workspace is where design editors, viewers, and analysis tools open. These include ISE
Text Editor, Schematic Editor, Constraint Editor, Design Summary/Report Viewer, RTL
and Technology Viewers, and Timing Analyzer.

 Other tools such as the PlanAhead™ software for I/O planning and floorplanning, ISim,
third-party text editors, XPower Analyzer, and iMPACT open in separate windows outside
the main Project Navigator environment when invoked.

 The Design Summary provides a summary of key design data as well as access to all of the
messages and detailed reports from the synthesis and implementation tools.

 The summary lists high-level information about your project, including overview
information, a device utilization summary, performance data gathered from the Place and
Route (PAR) report, constraints information, and summary information from all reports with
links to the individual reports.
Students need to simulate one sample program code on Xilinx/Altera (Intel) Tools and write
all the steps with snapshot for simulation.

 Students can use below reference for understanding step by step simulation flow.

Aim: Design 4:2, 8:3 Priority Encoder using Verilog / VHDL.

Competency and Practical Skills:

Relevant CO:

Objectives:

Equipment / Instruments: Laptop or Computer with Xilinx / Altera (Intel) Tools.

Basic Theory: An Encoder is a combinational circuit that performs the reverse operation of
Decoder. It has maximum of 2n input lines and ‘n’ output lines. It will produce a binary code
depending on the input line activated.

Truth Table of 4-to-2 Encoder

1 0 1 0 0 1 0
E 1 0 0 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1 0 0

Priority Encoder: A priority encoder produces correct code at the output even when multiple lines
at the inputs are simultaneously active high (logic ‘1’). As shown above, the 4-to-2 priority encoder
has four inputs (D3, D2, D1, D0) and two outputs (I1 and I0). Here, the input, D3 has the highest
priority; whereas, the input, D0 has the lowest priority. In this case, even if more than one input
lines are at logic ‘1’ at the same time, the output will be the binary code corresponding to the input,
which is having higher priority.
